Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Updated Tar build

From: Paul Smedley <paulDESPAM at DESPAMsmedley.info>

Hi All,
I've compiled the latest Tar source for OS/2, and it's available from
http://smedley.info/tar-1.15.1-os2.zip

This requires the Innotek GCC 3.3.5 rc1 runtime, that's available from
http://smedley.info/libc06r1.zip

This build of tar fixes the  at longlink at  errors on archives with long
filenames that exist with the old tar.exe

There are issues with archives where you specify a drive letter, ie
e:\archive.tar - to resolve these - add --force-local to the command
prompt, or add 'set tar_options=--force-local' to config.sys to make
this the default.

Cheers,

Paul.
